Sheffield United v Saints Commentary

I shall be back for this game. Intending to be at St Marys next month for Sheffield Weds game. Till then if wanted I will continue with the commentaries.

yes please

Do we have anyone actually going to the match??

SKACEL IS STARTING AND MCGOLDRICK IS ON BENCH!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in position and raring to go.

Davis, Perry, Skacel, Wright-Phillips, Surman, John, Lallana, Gillett, Lancashire, Cork, Mills. Subs: Wotton, Forecast, McGoldrick, James, Paterson.

So should be:

Davis
Cork Perry Olly Mills
Gillett Surman
BWP Lallana Surman
John

With the exception of Morgan (injured), Jan has picked the same team as I said he should. I'm the boss now :twisted:

Looking forward to listening to it ............as long as the wife and kids leave me alone for a couple of hours

Should be of interest to us also:

Tonight Theo is up against Roberto Carlos in Arsenal v Fenerbache.

Tonights team
Davis,Cork,Mills,Perry,Lancashire,Gillett,Surman,BWP,Skacel,Lallana,John

It'll be interesting whether Poortvliet sticks with the 4-5-1 formula or goes with a 4-4-2, especially if the game goes badly. I don't want to be negative but I have a bad feeling about this game.

Was just watching Jan interview on Saints TV saying defensively we need "Action not reaction because reaction is always too late"
